can I use the waste water to irrigate trees and plants

As far as I've learned, the waste water is equivalent to tap water. So I would say yes. In fact it may even be better because the filtered water has no micro nutrients (mag/iron etc) which are beneficial to plants needs.

I'm no expert but I wouldn't recommended it, especially for any food crops. The waste water contains the concentrated minerals that have been extracted from the rest of the water. If you have "hard" or fluoridated water, that will concentrate those for example. I'm a little fuzzy on the details, but there are some water conservation adapters for this unit that result in less waste water, but I think it comes at the price of having to replace filters more often. Hope that helps.

I would agree it will be at least 1000ppm if incoming water is 250ppm. Plants would probably not mind but your soil will get heavy in minerals. It is not that much water in any case.

It depends on the tree size. My tree is 25 feet tall, so the whole container was used around the dripline of the tree, and watered in well.

They are not reusable. Slits are cut in the tube, the gel is absorbed into the dirt to keep plants hydrated. I used 12 and my plants and rubber trees were watered for the 30 days I was away.

I assume you could use it for that it is made for hydroponic applications but with the right fittings from lowes it would work. There might be cheaper alternatives though for drinking water it is something you should probably look into first

Yes it would work but you would need to change the water often than if you had three plants. 3 plants with the correct nutrients will yield alot of cherry tomatoes.

Yes you can. In the watering settings you can have the zone water in up to 4 times a day by selecting it in the different watering cycles.

We use the run-off to water the plants in the tower and other plants that are growing outside of the tower.

Yes you can mix the nutrients in the same water and then water your plants. Not sure if that's what you were asking for.

undergravel filters are not used with plants as it promotes the type of organisms which decays all the roots. I don't think it would work well in only several inches of water

Yes, I use mine to water my Lawn. It runs my 3 impulse sprinklers all day 4 days a week in the summer.

Yes it can .. However.. U must start the unit off by using fresh water ... If u run nutes for yr plants thru the unit at any time u can Contaminate fresh drinking water .. My best suggestion is if u do deside to run nutes and use for fresh drinking water run a soft batch of bleach thru it to clean it... Hope this helps Queponz

Yes, you can use it. Put the water you'll be using in a gallon jug and check the PH. My town water is 8.5 which is too high for plants. I usually add about .5 ml of PHdown to a gallon to get around 6 - 6.5 which is perfect for most plants.

Unless that line is maxed out (total gpm of valve less the gpm of all the drips already on the line) it should be fine. But may also depend on how long you run the water. all drip irrigation systems parts put out so much water per hour. It would also depend on the type of soil, and how densely it is planted.

Just throw the whole thing in the garbage! The water has passed through many chemicals. I know it will kill plants; I don't know what effects it might have on your septic system.

Yes, I put a scoop in my watering can and water my tomato plants with it. Works great!

Yes, and be sure to run water through the filter for a minute to flush out any carbon particles, etc. If this is to be water for drinking, use a recommended drinking water hose instead of a regular garden hose.

Not to the system itself i don't think but with the set up I have you could. I have a 275g clean water tank and a bad water tank where the system dispenses the RO water. attached to the tanks are seperate hoses one for watering plants and the other for its intended purpose. I use this water for my mobile detailing company and its the best water I have ever used in the ten years of detailing. Much better then the DI tanks I once used. Hope this is helpful.
